Drowns

Likened to “an abandoned T-Rex record found tattered in a gutter,” The Drowns plan to amp-up and tear down classic blues based rock riffage and drag it kicking and screaming into modern punk streets. They’ll be marrying the rough and raw with the catchy and bouncy on the stage of the Wildish Theater starting at 7 pm on September 18.

The Drowns bark feature former members of Dee Dee Ramone’s band, Time Again, Success, Stone Sour, Madcap, Black Star Riders, The Chelsea Smiles, Strychnine Babies, and CMFT. With a relentless thirst for touring, they are soon to be bringing down the property value at 630 Main St., Springfield for $17 advance, $20 door, all ages. wildishtheater.com

VILLAGE

Everyone Village will turn its West Eugene property into a community music festival on September 19, from 3 to 10 p.m for a day of live music, food and family activities.

More than a music festival, the event is an opportunity to bring the broader community directly into Everyone Village and offer a closer look at the people, programs and partnerships behind the transitional shelter community.

Four bands are scheduled to perform: Joel Chadd, The Gents, Natsukashi Soul and headliner Candy Apple Bleu. The festival will also include food carts, a Kids’ Corner, family activities and information on other nonprofit organizations.

The property includes a Welcome Center, Resource Center, Workshop and Recycling Center, along with shared facilities and programs supporting workforce development, mental health and recovery.

The event comes as Everyone Village continues to look toward its next phase of growth, including plans for permanent tiny homes, expanded workforce development opportunities and additional housing efforts.

Proceeds from the Everyone Festival will support the continued work and growth of Everyone Village.
